What's your blend date if you're waiting for a steering wheel?

Congrats! Now you just need to take delivery and then face that formidable owner's manual! I started thru it but got busy, but when I have time I might start over from the beginning and make notes of interesting, unexpected features that I want to remember and maybe post them if it's not too long.

Oh and if you got a stick, learn to drive it. I stalled mine once I think each of the first three or four days! My 2008 felt like it had the exact same transmission as my 2001 but this was quite a bit different.

And I think that's a wrap!

Don't know what happened to Duffmann and Assh, who both went silent a month and a half ago, but all the cars without wheels appear to have found a home!

I haven't stalled mine, but I find myself hitting 3rd when I want 1st and having to correct it far more than I like. The gates seem really close on this one.

Sorry for not responding. I missed, by the skin of my teeth, the steering wheel fiasco.

Took delivery on 3/21/2019.

I think my car was one of worst! Ordered 11/1 received 5/3. It was a 19 gt premium 401a, a10 magnaride and active exhaust. Blend date was 2/8 so i was hit with 3 weeks plant shutdown and approximately 6 weeks parked wo steering wheel then 1week delay on train for "mechanical" issues. Blend date was probably also delayed initially for magnaride delays. Cars great, but wait was intolerable, ford didn't care and wouldn' even provide dealer any real status throughout this process.

As far as wheels go, taking different approach getting wheels PVD chromed through exchange but also putting 9.5 on front with 275's and widening old front to 10.5 with 305's for rear. Chroming is a little cheaper than optional wheels, but widening ups the price considerably. Only advantages, i keep stock look, factory wheels and get bigger tires all around for track use! Hopefully better for brake dust as well.
